Trying not to overanalyze everything!

Crystal

With two miscarriages around the six week mark within the last 9 months, I am hesitantly excited about this pregnancy. A two day draw of bloodwork showed good progesterone levels and hcg levels that more than doubled. Regardless, I am still hoping for some symptoms to reassure me that this one is progressing the way I’d like it to do so.

No nausea yet, but I did have bouts of lightheadedness and what felt like low blood sugar moments over the past two days. My breasts have been sore on and off and last night they peaked in soreness and I was excited - so weird being excited by things that typically make me miserable. However, today they have just been a little achy at times and sometimes not sore at all without me doing a lot of pushing on them and aggravating them, haha.

I have read symptoms come and go and my mathematical brain knows that while my hcg levels are (or were at last check) doubling appropriately, they are still only in the 3-4000 range.

I know worrying and overanalyzing won’t change anything but it is so hard not to just hope/want so hard for this one to get past 6 weeks so it can feel more real at last.

Thanks for reading my ramblings.
